Odyssey Futon Mattress Details

As one of our best selling futon mattresses since its introduction, the Odyssey is the perfect upgrade to achieve support and luxurious comfort. The Odyssey futon mattress was completely redesigned from the ground up, with the mindset that Americans wanted a supportive, yet supple futon mattress that offered comfort in both sleeping and seating positions.

No corners were cut in the making of this futon mattress. Premium blended materials were the only components introduced from the onset of its design, and the final result is truly remarkable, opening the way to the next generation of futon mattresses.

More About Split Format Futons

Split mattress formats are made up of two Odyssey futon mattresses that are snugged together to equal their full length complements. A Full size futon mattress is made by combining a Loveseat and Loveseat Ottoman. A Twin size is made with a Twin Chair and Twin Chair Ottoman and the Cot size is attained by scooting a Chair sized futon combines against a Chair Ottoman size.

The cot is pretty narrow and is not recommended for extended stays and is more suitable for children. Speaking of children, various split sizes can be used individually to offer miniature sized mattress for miniature sized people. So, you don't have to buy a counterpart to the split format concept if you don't want to. We're pretty flexible that way.

Incidentally, the term "ottoman" is used because each segment was originally offered as a footstool section. Today, however, only the chair size has a footstool foundation for its respective mattress, while the other ottoman sizes (the loveseat & twin) are rarely available with an ottoman foundation. Instead, they are either propped up to serve as the back portion of a lounger, or they are stowed elsewhere until they use is required for sleeping. In the latter case, the futon frames that accomadate those sizes is converted into a loveseat or oversized chair (in the case of the twin 39 inch width).

One frequently asked question about the split format, is whehter the gap can be perceived between the two separate cushions. The best recommendation to avoid feeling the split, is to place the larger split mattress so that it supports the head and torso of your guest, while the smaller split segment supports the calf and foot. When they are secured with the use of non-slip or Gripper Strips, the guest should not notice the difference between a complete futon mattress or the split. One additional thought, is to purchase a complete cover for the split. In the case of the loveseat split format, for example, a Full Size Futon Cover could be employed to encompass both mattresses. This will zip complete around the loveseat futon and loveseat ottoman to hold keep them well intact. When the futon is no longer needed for your guest, simply remove the ottoman cushion, keeping the larger segment inside and zipping it shut. Then, fold the mattress back into position, dog-ear and then military tucking the excess fabric behind the back.

Have Questions? That's why we're here. So pick up the phone and call, us! We're more than happy to explain the process to help you determine if a split format is right for you. By the way, some futon mattress are thin enough to cascade over the back should you need a mattress for a loveseat or twin chair. In this case, you are forgoing a level of comfort, but saving money and removing a layer of complexity in the process. You might want to ask us about that as well, if you are considering a split format mattress for a loveseat or twin size futon.

Futon Planet Brand Mattress Shipping FAQ's

Q: Why can't in-store Futon Planet Brand futons ship from the store? — Unlike our Otis brand futon mattresses which ship to us from Otis in vacuum packed packages, the mattresses we offer in-store customers under our own label are not vacuum packed or ready to ship. This service is only provided to our on-line customers who purchase Futon Planet brand mattresses and must be fulfilled at the factory.

Q: Why do custom mattress take longer? — It's not always, the case, but frequently custom made futon mattresses require more attention to detail than the higher production runs of our standard spec futon mattresses. For this reason, a seemstress will attend to custom orders after a major production run once the dust settles. If you are in a hurry, call us to see about a RUSH PRODUCTION order and an additional Fast Trac option.

Q: Why must I open my futon mattress the day it arrives — Two reasons. One reason is that you want to allow it to begin to expand to its intended loft as quickly as possible. With cotton-filled mattresses, this means it can a little time to expand and the longer it stays compressed the less likely it will expand to its intended loft. Also, as with all our products, we like customers to open their products and inspect them for potential shipping damages. We rarely, we mean very rarely, receive calls from customers regarding futon mattress damages, but it can happen. Notifying us immediately enables us to seek a freight claim while quickly attending your needs regarding a replacement. Please note any damages must be identified with the use of digital images and need to be emailed to us promptly so we can service your claim.

Q:How will my Odyssey Futon Mattress be packaged? — Futon Planet brand futon mattresses ship to you in a vacuum packed package with a near-bullet proof mesh that helps ensure it is well protected from potential shipping damages. When it arrives, you will carefully unpack it and watch it grow, much like a giant grow worm. Be sure to stand back. Just kidding! They expand slowly, taking several business days to recover. They don't expand on weekends..

Little to soft

I'm a bigger guy so this futon is a little to soft for me. Most folks should be fine with it though. I got it for my kids when they come to visit.

Comfy. Lightweight too!

The odyssey is really lightweight for a futon mattress. About half the weight of the one I replaced. It's pretty soft and cushy and doesn't get hot.

I can feel the wood panels underneath, however laying down

Through conversation with a sales representative, I decided on the Odessey mattress. Upon receiving the mattress, I am disappointed in the thickness/firmness of it. Sitting in the couch position, I can feel the wood panels underneath, however laying down, your weight is distributed better, and this is not a problem. I feel like this will not hold up as long as I would like and may get “lumpy” after awhile. I was hoping for more of a “ mattress” feel. This is to be used in a quest room and not as a couch for us, but I am still skeptical on how comfortable it will be for our guests.
I called to see if we could exchange our mattress for a firmer one and was told that mattresses are non-exchangable, which is in the terms and conditions (that I did not read). Obviously, ordering on-line, you do not have the luxury of “trying” out the mattress as you would in a store. Lesson learned on our part. We have only had the mattress two days, and although I get they cannot resell “used” mattresses, it would be nice if there was some kind of consideration to on-line customers for a quick exchange.
The quality of the fabric is good and package was received in good shape, shipped quickly.

I am uber pleased with my futon mattress- I have had other futons when I was younger and none of them compare to this mattress which will function as a couch and guest bed.
